Ok... there's this technicial genius, he makes what very well may be the two
key foundations necessary for IBM to make a PC for Compaq to clone it, for
Unix to serve it, to make the Internet to share it... BUT WHAT THE ^*%@
HAPPENED TO HIM?
I've got a faint notation that he got involved in Be, what ever that is.
It seems like an OS, I remember hearing that it was getting ported to Intel
platforms... what happend to him? Why isn't he like... at Apple, where he
belongs doing innovation?
Thanks,

Off-topic? Not really. The BE Box, as cool as it was, has been done
in my mass-marketed junque. The BE, afaik, is now the Tucker of the
computer business (along with the DG AViiON, the NeXT, among others).
Original BE Boxes are destined to become classics.
Definitely way cool OS, though.

BTW, _definitely_ not on-topic and I apologize for
that, but Be is
indeed an OS company, and it's gaining quite a following, although I
don't believe Wozniak has ever had anything to do with them. You may
be thinking of the CEO, Jean-Louis Gassee, who was an... "interesting"
figure at Apple for quite some time. More answers can be had at
http://www.be.com/ (amazingly enough).

He lives in Los Gatos, California, teaching. That's just as precious
(perhaps more so) as innovating.

New subject: TI Silent 700 pinouts
Does anyone have the pinouts for any of the TI Silent 700 terminals?
Believe it or not, the model doesn't really matter. Also does anyone have
any information as to weather or not their modems are Hayes compatible.

The first Silent 700 was made in 1971; was Hayes even born yet? I'm not
sure if that model (735) included the modem. I've got a 745 on the way to
me that does include the modem, but I think it's got an accoustic coupler,
so there are no modem commands to be compatible with.
